The Baby Boomer Birthday Blues
(I Keep Getting Older Each Day)

Jim Keenan

I woke up this morning
And felt something funny.
Then I realized that it was just me.
Well when I stopped my laughing,
after a fashion,
I reflected more seriously

I'm not prone to lying,
and there's no denying,
the truth's all that there's left to say.
As hard as I fight it,
I can’t seem to right it.
I keep getting older each day

My hearin’ is failing.
The Doc says I'm ailin'.
And it's getting real hard to see.
And I don't understand
why this thing in my hand
won't do nothing no more than just pee.

I'm close to despair
'cause I'm losing my hair
and my lovers have all passed away.
So excuse me for yellin’
at you ‘cause you're tellin’
me have a Happy Birthday
